Digital Learning Day Information

​Dear Graves Parent:

While we certainly hope that we will not miss any more school this year, we recognize our winter weather forecast is unpredictable. As you know, the 2017-18 built-in make-up days (February 23, March 9, and March 23) are official school days due to inclement weather (hurricanes) during first semester. Therefore, we should prepare for the 4th and subsequent days of school closure to be a Digital Learning Day, with school and learning continuing that day through digital resources.

We have provided instructions below to help you and your student be prepared to complete the required work for any days missed during the second semester of school due to inclement weather. Please know that if you are not able to login due to a power outage, unavailable internet/wi-fi, or not having access to a computer, your student will have the opportunity to make up the work after returning to school.

Please also note the following guidelines and expectations:

Information regarding Digital Learning Day assignments will be posted in each teacher's "News" widget and "Content" widget by 10:00 am.

Students should spend 3-4 hours of their day participating in Digital Learning Day activities/lessons.

Teachers may have students submit work through the dropbox, discussion board, Google classroom, or turn in upon return to school. Students should follow the directions provided by each teacher.

Any student who returns to school not having completed the Digital Learning Day activities will be held accountable for this work and will receive an NTI (not turned in) in the gradebook until it is completed. Students are allowed two days for each day missed after returning to school to complete and turn in assignments. Students will earn a zero for any work not completed and turned in to the teacher within the designated timeframe.

Since this process is new to everyone, we recognize that there may be questions. We are happy to answer them and help in any way. Please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher, your grade level assistant principal, or myself for assistance.

Sincerely,Clayborn Knight, Principal
